56 Popular ready for the ride from Detroit, MI to FL.
The story:
It all began when my old friend Denny Hummel and I met again on Facebook through his son Eric. We lost contact with each other when he was drafted during the Vietnam war and I moved to Northern Michigan. We hadn't seen each other for 40+ years and he and his wife came down to Florida for a visit. We were sitting around one night, swapping stories (and lies ;-) and I mention that Anglia's and 33 Willys were my all time favorite cars. He responded "I've got an Anglia, you want it, I'll give it to you"! Having just sold my last street rod, a 32 Ford Victoria and my trailer, I declined his offer. He persisted saying "Let's go partners, you do the chassis and I'll do the drivetrain!" Denny, I found out had excelled as an engine builder in Michigan as a partner in Booth-Arons Racing Engines. (He did the engine for the Allard Dragster before he retired). Anyway, I agreed and flew to Detroit to meet him and haul (what turned out to be a 1956 Popular) to Florida.
A short while later "Lizzy" (we nicknamed her) is ready for the chassis work.
